Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and a method for starting control of a hybrid vehicle which secures robust drivability when the hybrid vehicle starts. A method for starting control of a hybrid vehicle according to another aspect of the present invention may include: deciding a target torque according to starting demand; analyzing an engaging state of a clutch; calculating a clutch slip torque in a case that the clutch slips; requesting correction of an engine output torque according to the clutch slip torque; and correcting the engine output torque through control of air amount and feedback control of ignition timing according to the correction request of the engine output torque.

Claims (12)

1. A system for starting control of a hybrid vehicle which comprises an engine and a motor being power sources, a clutch connecting or disconnecting power delivery, and a clutch control unit controlling an operation of the clutch, the system comprising:

a hybrid control unit controlling a clutch slip according to a starting demand, calculating a clutch slip torque, and requesting correction of an engine output torque; and

an engine control unit controlling an engine speed to follow a target engine speed through a control of air amount and feedback control of ignition timing according to the correction request of the engine output torque received from the hybrid control unit.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the engine control unit compensates the engine output torque lost by the clutch slip according to the correction request of the engine output torque through the control of the air amount and the feedback control of the ignition timing.

3. A method for starting control of a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

deciding a target torque according to starting demand;

analyzing an engaging state of a clutch;

calculating a clutch slip torque in a case that the clutch slips;

requesting correction of an engine output torque according to the clutch slip torque; and

correcting the engine output torque through control of air amount and feedback control of ignition timing according to the correction request of the engine output torque.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the target torque according to the starting demand is calculated in a case the clutch is completely engaged, and the engine output torque is controlled to follow the target torque.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the target torque according to the starting demand is corrected by a clutch slip torque in a case of the clutch slip, and an engine speed is controlled to follow the target engine speed.
